family and friends, Of wton he has
hosts; but when last nights Repository
appeared, and with 1t the cOWsrdly and
oOntemptible statement thai they had
caused reporter to cali upon Treasurer
Doll to examine Mr. Grimes's accounts,
Insult was added to biI jlry. Here Is a
portion of Its infamous lnsinuatlOn:
"a Repository reporter called upon
County Treasurer Doll to see II there
was any iTregulRrity in bond matters.
Clerk Grimes, 1t seems, made q clerical
error which led to the summing up of
wrong figures, but there was no crook
edness to be found. Councilman schWler
made an investigation this afternoon
aud pronOunces everything all right"
A Republican, and member of the
Board of Trade, read the report last
evening. and to DEMOCRAT represent.
ative expressed himself very freely on
the outrage. Said he:
Such thing as even an intlmatlOn,
insinuRtion or suggestion that Mr..
Grimes was ever capR0le of a dishonest
or crooked act, was never made In
Canton to my knowledge. have known
HIN for years, and l know that be
stands above TpprOacb. For honor and
Integrity his reputation is a bar against
such foul slsnder."
What business had Councilman
Schw!er to nose into the Clerks af-
fairsp"
None whatever; he has been decided
ly over ffiei0us. II any man doubts
the honesty Of any city official, let him
prefer charges against him In the COun-
Gil, and have an investigation commit
tee appointed, and not go In sneaking
and underhanded way to cast ref 9ctiOns
on an honest man."

A Collision Avoided.

A collision which was imiment be-.
tween tho Grand Army Band and Pro-
tesEor Frost, of 0EetliD, on The band
stand this evening has been averted. II
appears that the committee of arrange.
ments for Professor Frost had secured
the privilege of using the band stand
tonight, on last Monday. The band,
not knowing any arrangements had
been made for the use Of the band stand,
began making preparations for con-
cert to be held there. Seeing there was
some Misunderstanding the committee
of Professor Frost hunted up the presi-
dent Of the band and 1t was mutually
agreed that the band should commence
their concert at 7:l5 and cease at 8:l5,
when Professor Frost will thel give his
address to the people.

R. W. Fl. Davis is visiting friends here

Sick county, Pa, and has not been here

Quite an offensive reference was
made by the Repository correspondent
Monday concerning the candidacy of
John e. Monnot. The reference YVES un-
called for and untrue. Mr.. MonDot did
speak at the farmers picnic Saturday,
but he did so on the invitation of the
management and both Democrats and
Republicans are loud In their cOmmen-
dsti0ns Of his effort. The remark con-
cerning his fences being In need of re-
pair here is untrue. Mr.. MOnnOt's
friends In NimishiIlen are legion and
will stand by the young man at the
coming election. This is the fret time
In many years that Nimishillen town
ship has had an opportunity to vote for
one OF its own men and its voters mean
to show their appreciation by giving
Mr.. MOnnot an increased majority.

Oceans of Salt Water Struck at the East
Canton Gas Well.
The gas we'll had reached Tepth of
3, S,l6O feet or something over three fif BIS
OF mile on Saturday evening, and the
gas YVES still blazing mp about
three feet high, when q tremendous
hoW OF salt water again interfered
Drilling was Immediately suspended
and the gas company notified. They
immediately tabegTaphed NJ Stewart,
the contractor, who arrived In this city
this morning. 1t was determined to re-
sumo drilling again to-day, aud about II
o'clock the drill was let down, When
they attempted to pull up the drill
at one O'Clock this afternoon 1t was
discovered that that the salt water was
causing the we'll to cave In, and II was
nearly an hour before they succeeded In
getting out the tool. The fTst drillings
taken out show that they are now In a
very hard, gray sand rock which
NIT. Stewart says he never
before encountered at that depth, or In
that relative position to the contacts
just gone through. He would not ex.
press an opinion as to its thickness, as
he said 1t was entirely new to him.
Just what will be done with the
we'll has not bseu determined, but
the new company is to hold
a meeting this evening to consult with
Mr. Stewart, and decide the matter. An
experienced driller at the we'll said TO a
DEMOCRAT reporter this afternoon that
1t had been his experience to strike gas
above the salt water found at that depth
and be did not have very great hope of
striking itdeeper. The salt water in the
well Is about 450 fset deep, and an at.
tempt to bale it ont made no appreei-
able difference In the depth.

CINCINNATI, Aug ga motion was
argued before Judge Sage in Lebanon, for
reduction of bail in the case of Benjamin
E. Hopkins, late assistant cashier OF the
Fidelity bank. Warner NJ. Bateman ap-
peared for the motion, and District Attor-
ney Burnet resisted it. Mr. Bateman, it is
understood was not able to say that his
client would be able to give bail if a smaller
sum were required, but urged that it is i'm
possible for him to give 100000, the sum
required, and that such a sum is excessive.
The districts attorney maintained that the
bail which has been fixed by the commits
soner in Hopkins case is not large when
the character of his offense is taken into
consideration, and urged that the ends of
justice can best be served by allowing it to
remain at its present sum. Judge Sage tool,
the motion under consideration.

Daily Capital has created a sensation by de-.
manding that Jefferson Davis should be
invited to the Piedmont exposition, to be
held here in. October, and that by his hand
President Cleveland should be welcomed.
The Capital asks why Mr. Davis has not
been invited, and insinuates that it is be-
caHse the Prohibitionists are prejudiced
against him. 1t accuses the people of At
lanta of fickleness, aud declares that Henry
w. Grady should be the man to introduce
Mr. Davis to President Cleveland. This
act, it says, would alone convince the north
that when their southern cousins extend
welcome, it is from the heart.
